Down to the last 215,000 and on the button, Djordje Stojic moved all-in. Sugen Singh in the big blind mulled it over for a short while and then called for both players to reveal an ace.
Djordje Stojic: A♠7♦
Sugen Singh: A♦9♣
The inferior kicker got there on the 10♠7♣2♠K♣Q♣ runout for Stojic to survive.
Ronit Chamani was all-in with her last 150,000 on the live stream table and chip leader Roy Bitton looked her up.
Ronit Chamani: A♣2♣
Roy Bitton: Q♣10♦
The board ran out Q♦8♦2♥6♣9♠ and Chamani had to settle for 61,885 ZAR in 18th place.
Only a few meaningful pots were played on the outer table with two short stacks looking for a spot to double. Moon Khan got one shove through but didn't pick up any caller.
There are around 25 minutes left in the level and the final 18 players are now seated as follows.

First to act, SM raised to 50,000 with the Q♠8♠ and earned calls from Gavin Sardini in the hijack with the A♣J♥, Stephen Courtney also called in the big blind with A♠5♣. The A♥5♥4♣ flop saw SM continue for 75,000 and earn two calls.
Sardini then bet the K♣ turn for 100,000 and Courtney was the only caller with his two pair. They checked the 6♣ river and Courtney won the pot in the last hand before the two table balancing.
In a single-raised pot to the K♥9♣9♠ flop, Norman Cherry bet and then instantly called all-in when Darryl Shaff moved all-in.
Norman Cherry: A♦9♦
Darryl Shaff: K♣Q♥
The 3♠ turn and Q♣ river let Cherry double for 630,000 and Shaff was left with 15,000.
He was all-in from under the gun the next hand and Roy Bitton isolated with a bet of 75,000 on the 10♥10♦8♣ flop.
Darryl Shaff: J♦5♦
Roy Bitton: 8♦8♥
The flopped full house was good for Bitton, who notched up the elimination with the Q♥6♥ runout. The final 18 players will now balance to two tables.
Jody van Wyk got some jams through to get his stack p to 335,000 and then moved all-in again. David Ng called in the cutoff and the rest of the table folded.
Jody Van Wyk: A♦7♦
David Ng: 10♥10♦
The K♥Q♠5♠6♣8♣ board delivered no help and Van Wyk went from one of the bigger stacks to 20th place finisher.
Over on the outer tables, Danny Dayani jammed out of the small blind for 370,000 and was called by Elai Mazor out of the big blind.
Danny Dayani: Q♥J♣
Elai Mazor: A♠3♦
The two live cards got there on the K♣7♠4♦Q♣J♠ runout as Dayani surpassed Mazor on the leaderboard.
Jody Van Wyk defended the big blind with the K♣Q♦ against a raise by MAJ, who had the A♥K♥. The A♠K♠3♣ flop saw Van Wyk check-call for 50,000 and he then check-raised the 7♠ turn from 125,000 to 305,000. MAJ just called with the top two pair and the 5♥ river completed the board.
Van Wyk bet 380,000 with 170,000 behind and MAJ tank-called to leave his opponent very short.
